    CEE Mobile Gaming and Apps Lead @ Google | "Insight guy" | Investor

    I am a strong believer in the importance of supporting the industry, fostering knowledge exchange, and building networks within the gaming and apps sector. I dedicate a significant amount of my business and personal time to these efforts (I shared a lot of reasons, personal stories staying behind it in that article: https://lnkd.in/da53bk7c). Additionally, I have a strong personal connection to Cyprus, particularly its game development industry. For those reasons I was happy to support LVLUP Acceleration Program (organised with the support of GameCamp/Google for Startups, NVO Lab, and GDCy) to help promising gaming, gametech companies and startups. Accelerator participants will gain access to expert sessions, workshops, and guidance from advisors representing leading gaming companies, publishers, and investment funds. The majority of the program will be conducted online, with offline events taking place in Cyprus. Accelerator is completely free for gaming studios and startups!
